LOVE COMING FROM THE LEAST EXPECTED - Season 1 Episode 90

“You don’t believe me!” Lyle glared at me, his expression turned grim.

Meanwhile, I gazed at him coldly, as if I was looking at a random stranger on the street. Then, I said while emphasizing every word, “Do you there is still trust between us? Come on. You’ll treat me well only when you need my help, right? So, you don’t need to fake it in front of me.”

Once I finished, I strode and left. When I came to a corner, Lyle stood still and looked dejected somehow. However, I would never believe that he was sad because of me.

I felt I could hardly understand Lyle—he cared about me at times but was also ruthless. Perhaps with Christopher’s presence, he was surprised to find out that someone would love his haggard wife. It proved once again that humans were ungrateful brats and would cherish something only when they were losing it.

With a palm print on my cheek, and my left hand scalded, Christopher would be worried when he saw me. As such, I bought some ointment to reduce the swelling on my face. My hand’s injury wasn’t serious because Josephine had treated it for me immediately.

The moment I opened the door, I could smell the aroma of food. Then, I saw Christopher wearing an apron and busy preparing food in the kitchen. Hearing the sound, he turned around and said, “Dinner is almost ready. Don’t rush into the house yet. I’ve bought a new pair of slippers, and they’re in the shoe cabinet. Try it.”

Don’t I have a pair of slippers already? Why did he buy a new one?

I opened the shoe cabinet to take a look. Although it was autumn then, he had already bought the slippers for winter. They were a pair of fluffy slippers with a cute rabbit. Besides, he purposely chose pink for me. Since it was something that a teenage girl would love, I somehow felt that Christopher pampered me like a young girl.

I walked to the kitchen door in my fluffy slippers and leaned against the wall to watch him prepare the meal. He chopped the vegetables steadily as though there was some magical charm around his hands. Unknowingly, I was captivated by his charming figure while cooking.

After a while, I shifted my gaze toward the dining room and saw four dishes, and they were all my favorites. I couldn’t help but feel touched. I was like a wife who was tired after work. When I got home and saw my husband preparing dinner, I would be cheered no matter how tired I was.

Christopher probably noticed that I was watching him. He turned around, raised his eyebrows, and said playfully, “What’s up? Are you mesmerized by me?”

“Yes, you’re the most handsome guy—my hero, and my prince.” I chuckled and hugged him from behind. “Christopher, please don’t treat me so well. I’m worried that I’ll be devastated if I get used to your kindness now but lose you later.”

“In that case, I’ll have to treat you well forever. No worries!” Christopher pinched my nose gently and placed a bowl of soup on the table. However, a glint flashed across his eyes once he saw the injury on my hand. He grabbed my hand and asked, “What happened? Did Lyle give you any trouble!”

“No!” I gave up on Lyle totally but was heartbroken after knowing the truth about Sharon. I explained, “I made some tea for Sharon but spilled it accidentally. Anyway, it’s a minor injury, and it should recover tomorrow. Don’t worry too much.”

“Why didn’t you take good care of yourself? Should I tie you with me so that I can always keep an eye on you?” Christopher heaved a sigh.

Although his words were similar to Lyle’s, I was touched by his. “I’m worried you might get bored of me if I’m tied to you all the time.”

“How did the discussion go?” Christopher asked casually.

I knew that he referred to the outcome after I met with Sharon. After all, he saw that I behaved resolutely yesterday. A moment later, I explained helplessly, “Once the Lane family’s party is over tomorrow, everything should be done and dusted.”
